Review from Emma A.

I didn't buy anything (my friends did) but the man behind the counter was still totally pleasant and chatty, even in the tiny, cramped space. We had a nice conversation about museums, and boy did he know his stuff.
Great selection, reasonable prices, and a bunny? Worth a browse, for sure. -
Review from Chris P.
I've been looking to off-load a few books so thought I would pop in here to see what they were like. It's floor-to-ceiling shelves, and piles, and stacks of fiction with some cook books thrown in for good measure. This place is so packed that you couldn't even tell where the cashier was until he said hello.
Most of my books are business related so it was a no-go for me here. But if you like your sci-fi or fantasy there's a good mix of new and used.
Oh, and there's a bunny. So there's that.

Quaint neighbourhood bookshop that features a not-insignificant selection of sci-fi, fantasy, and fiction. It's tight in here, so lover of carbs are advised to be careful while traversing their thin book-filled aisles.
This place is positively loaded with tomes old and new. Some key finds include old-school volumes of Nancy Drew books and some brand new Asterix the Gaul and Tin Tin. They do have some non-fiction picks, but I think this is primarly a store for story seeking geeks. I spotted quite a few bound comic books and graphic novels too.
The prices seemed pretty fair as well. Put down that donut and pay them a visit.
Obligatory Title Pun: I DOUG it.
Menu Readability: Great sign out front, but all the signage in the store is way, way too high.
Need to mention: They have a store rabbit named Bumpkin. He had a lot of heart.
What this place teaches me about myself: I like my fiction scienced.Listed in: Take a look, it's in a book

Used bookstore in Korea-town. Perfect for if I am too lazy to walk another few blocks into the Annex.
This place is affiliated with "Seekers" bookstore in the Annex. I heard the owner mention they had to open up a second location as they didn't have enough room.
They seem to carry primarily Fantasy & Science Fiction, Mystery, Current Fiction plus a lot of children's and young adult books. Really good place to pick up used Fantasy/Sci-fi - the selection was huge.
The shop is quite tiny and it's absolutely rammed with books. Each aisle is so narrow that it's difficult to squeeze by another customer or see the top/bottom shelves. Looks like this should be improved once they are finished unpacking and organizing more books.
Friendly owner. Good prices. Caged rabbit. Not bad! -

This is a great bookstore. Doug knows his inventory intimately and is helpful. He carries mostly gently used and a few new books at discount prices. I'm not sure about the prices on the used books but i've heard they are reasonable (~$5).
